Gary Johnson targets Obama on marijuana in CO

Colorado is a tightly-contested swing state ... where Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, the former Republican governor of neighboring New Mexico, is making a strong push, with marijuana legalization and marijuana policy as one of his strongest talking points ... bringing in about 5% of the vote — and he takes three votes away from Obama for every two he takes from Romney."

"'Hello, fellow Democrat,' a friendly male voice says. 'Like you I was thrilled to vote for Barack Obama in 2008. In 2008, candidate Obama promised not to use the Justice Department to prosecute medical marijuana in states where it was legal. But the real Obama did just that, more than doubling prosecutions, putting people in prisons and shutting down medical marijuana facilities in Colorado. That’s not the change you wanted on health freedom. But you can still be a force for hope and change by voting for Gary Johnson.'"
